Steroids bust, Sprague Road: A black Chevy Silverado with only one working headlight caught the
attention of police at 4:19 a.m. Feb. 20 traveling eastbound on Sprague Road.

When the officer ran the truck's plates, they came back to
an owner who had a suspended license. Also, the driver had limited driving
privileges due to an OVI suspension.

However, those driving privileges didn't cover the suspended
license. The driver thought they did. When the officer searched the man's
truck, he found two syringes and a bottle of Testosterone Enanthate.

The man said he didn't use steroids that day and told the
officer, "You can test me if you want." He said a friend left the bottle. The
man was arrested for drug abuse and possession of drug instruments.

He was also cited for having one headlight out and driving
under suspension.

Drunken driving, Spruce Run Drive: Police were dispatched at 1:35 a.m. Feb. 20 to a
parking lot at Spruce Run Drive after a report of a car accident. The officer
arrived to find a blue Ford Explorer on top of a snow bank.

The car was registered to a man on Edgerton Road but the
officer recognized the driver, who was the man's son, due to his history of
drunken driving arrests. The officer located the son standing in the entry
doorway of an apartment building. However, it wasn't the building he lived in.

The officer noticed the man appeared drunk. When the officer
asked the man what happened, he slurred, "I don't know what you're talking
about." When asked how much he had to drink, the man said a couple of beers
earlier but it was before he drove.

The man said he hadn't drove the car for more than 20
minutes, but the officer pointed out the accident was called in a few minutes
prior. The man argued and then gave the officer his credit card, instead of his
driver's license.

After failing a field sobriety test, the man was arrested
for drunken driving. He was also cited for breathalyzer refusal and reasonable
control. The man had three prior drunken driving convictions within the last
decade.

Disorderly conduct, Spruce Run Drive: Police were dispatched at 5:19 p.m. Feb. 19 to
Spruce Run Drive regarding a fight between two men in the parking lot. Police
located the men in the back of the apartment complex.

The officer noticed they both were drunk and kept swearing.
This didn't make the officer happy. One of the men, 21, then lunged at the
officer. He was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Next, the other man, 30, started calling the officer names
so he was arrested for disorderly conduct. However, he refused to get into the
officer's car so he was pepper sprayed. This didn't do the trick.

Another officer arrived on the scene and got the man into
his car. During the ride back to the station the man was attempting to kick out
the back window of the squad car. He was pepper sprayed again.

That man was issued four misdemeanor citations for
disorderly conduct. The other man was issued one citation for disorderly
conduct. It turned out neither of the two arrested men lived at the apartment
complex.

Marijuana possession, Sprague Road: A weaving silver Ford Focus was pulled over at 1:45
a.m. Feb. 19 on Sprague Road. The officer talked to the driver, who was
attempting to control her small terrier dog.

She said she was coming from home and heading to her
boyfriend's house. The officer recognized the woman from a previous drug
arrested. The woman was asked if she had anything illegal in the car and
responded that she no longer used drugs.

While searching the woman's purse, the officer found
marijuana inside of a container. The woman said she forgot it was in her purse
and that she meant to throw it away. While searching the car, the officer found
a one-hitter pipe and another pipe.

He also found a Xanax pill, which belonged to her mother's
prescription. The woman was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and
drug abuse. She was also cited for weaving and not using a turn signal.
